Insights
Teradyne's debut of AI Accelerator-powered robotics solutions represents a significant technological leap in the collaborative robotics space. By integrating NVIDIA's advanced AI capabilities into their Universal Robots platform, Teradyne is positioning itself at the intersection of two high-growth markets: industrial automation and artificial intelligence.
The partnership with NVIDIA provides Teradyne with access to cutting-edge GPU technology and software libraries, creating a barrier to entry for competitors. The AI Accelerator toolkit, now in version 1.1, isn't merely a technical showcase but a commercially viable platform designed to accelerate partner development and market adoption.
What's particularly noteworthy is the breadth of applications being demonstrated - from dynamic metrology to generative AI programming and reinforcement learning. These represent complex use cases that traditional robotics has struggled to address, potentially expanding Teradyne's addressable market significantly.
The integration of NVIDIA's Isaac ROS and Manipulator components suggests Teradyne is building a comprehensive ecosystem rather than just incremental product improvements. This ecosystem approach could drive recurring revenue through the partner network while creating switching costs for customers who build on their platform.
While this announcement doesn't include financial projections, it demonstrates Teradyne's execution on its strategy to transform from testing equipment to advanced robotics and automation solutions, diversifying its revenue streams beyond semiconductor test equipment.
New AI-powered Applications Showcase Advanced Capabilities in Dynamic Metrology, GenAI Programming, Reinforcement Learning, and Bimanual Assembly
The AI Accelerator toolkit, launched by Teradyne Robotics' company Universal Robots, offers developers a full go-to-market architecture, ready to use straight out of the box. At NVIDIA's GTC conference, five robotics companies unveil new AI Accelerator-driven solutions.
“Physical AI equips robots with the capacity to perceive and respond to the real world providing the versatility and problem-solving capabilities that are often required by complex use cases that have been out of scope until now,” says James Davidson, Chief AI Officer, Teradyne Robotics. “Instead of merely executing pre-programmed instructions, robots empowered by AI gain the ability to learn, adapt, and make informed decisions grounded in their sensory input,” he says, adding:
“Think of a logistics operation where robots navigate through a warehouse with constantly changing layouts and obstacles. Or a construction site where robots assist in assembly tasks within unpredictable and changing environments. The AI Accelerator helps our cobots better understand their surroundings, plan optimal paths, and execute tasks safely and efficiently in previously unmanageable spaces.”
Close collaboration with NVIDIA
The AI Accelerator is a toolkit designed by Teradyne Robotics company Universal Robots (UR) in collaboration with NVIDIA to enable the development of AI-powered applications by bringing AI acceleration to UR's next-generation software platform, PolyScope X. The toolkit is powered by NVIDIA Isaac™ accelerated libraries and AI models, running on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™ system-on-module.
Ujjwal Kumar, Teradyne Robotics Group President, looks forward to sharing the new physical AI applications with NVIDIA GTC audiences: “The AI Accelerator provides developers with an extensible platform to build and de-risk applications and reduce time to market,” says Kumar. "Our new partner applications powered by the AI Accelerator clearly demonstrate how Universal Robots is becoming the preferred platform for physical AI, addressing previously unsolvable challenges in collaborative robotics."
"Robotics and physical AI deployments are on an accelerated trajectory driven by advancements in generative AI and simulation with NVIDIA’s Isaac robotics platform," said Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI, NVIDIA. “Our collaboration with Teradyne Robotics brings this latest technology and benefits to Teradyne’s extensive developer and partner network.”

3D Infotech - Dynamic Metrology: Showcasing a UR3e cobot that scans workpieces, compares them with CAD models, and highlights dimensional inaccuracies by projecting them onto the workpiece surface. The AI Accelerator enhances the perception capabilities of the cobot, allowing it to more accurately locate the workpiece for inspection.
T-Robotics - GenAI Driven Programming: Demonstrating a UR5e cobot with LLM-driven CNC machine tending. With T-Robotics ActGPT, users can describe an application setup in natural language and have it translated into a robot program with the help of the AI Accelerator.
AICA - Reinforcement Learning Assembly: Featuring a UR5e cobot executing single-arm gear assembly using reinforcement learning. The cobot locates a part using AI Accelerator-based perception and then uses a reinforcement learning skill to complete a contact-rich assembly process.
Acumino - Bimanual Assembly: The AI Accelerator facilitates a bimanual UR5e cobot’s ability to learn complex manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. The system completes an electrical cable handling task and attendees can collaborate with the robot to solve the task.
Groundlight - Workpiece Detection for Streamlined Picking: The AI Accelerator trains a model to detect a workpiece and generate a robot program for picking, then verifies that the robot workspace is ready, ensuring a robust and easily deployed solution.
The solutions shown at NVIDIA GTC all run on the latest version of the AI Accelerator (1.1). The new version integrates the latest release of NVIDIA Isaac ROS , specifically NVIDIA Isaac™ Manipulator components enabling enhanced pose estimation and path planning performance. The latest version of the AI Accelerator also offers high speed GMSL connectivity on vision sensors, upgraded from USB3 and runs on the newest version of PolyScope X (10.8).
While the AI Accelerator is primarily focused on UR cobots, the underlying AI and accelerated computing technology also benefit Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), another Teradyne company featured at GTC. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack uses 3D vision and the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module for pallet detection, allowing the pallet jack to identify, pick up, and deliver pallets with precision in complex environments.
"These applications all demonstrate that our AI Accelerator is truly built for where AI makes a difference," explains Davidson, who will be presenting the GTC Lightning Talk "Accelerating AI-Driven Robotics with Universal Robots" on March 18 at 2 PM PST at the conference. “Developers can now easily harness physical AI to create innovative robotics applications thanks to the seamless integration of NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator, PolyScope X, and user-friendly toolsets. And we’re just getting started with more innovations coming later this year.”
